Really good dim sum! About time there was another authentic Chinese restaurant in Calgary. Dragon Chinese Restaurant is having a grand opening special of 20% discount. They have the dim sum check off list in English and Chinese. Lots of choices both regular dim sum fare but also interesting unusual dim sum items like pork liver rice crepes, wontons in spicy sauce, BBQ pork pastries but with ginger. The usual dim sum fare was pretty fresh. I liked their shrimp dumplings - no fishy smell, taste was great. All their items were served piping hot and that's what I like!
The decor is neat. As you ascend the stairs to the restaurant up one level, you follow a gold and glittering trail. The restaurant is adorned in red and gold. Dragon heads are everywhere!
The wait staff was really polite and professional. They can speak in English and Chinese. I'm impressed at how many times they came to check our tea pot to fill up with hot water or take away dirty dishes. Chilli sauce and chilli oil were brought promptly to the table when asked. We ordered congee and they made sure to bring bowls with Chinese spoons and white pepper! Usually, I have to ask.
The owner was so impressed with our BIG order that he told the waitress to bring us dessert - goji berry with lychee jelly. Delish!
Parking is on-street or there is a parking lot to the west of the restaurant.
